A compressed file (also known as a zip file) is a handy way to accomplish various tasks, although many people may not know what they are or do. We want to fix that, so we’re going over what a compressed file is and how to make one.
A compressed file is more or less what it sounds like: a file that has been made smaller by eliminating redundant data and reorganizing what is left. This process offers a litany of benefits to users, benefits that include preserving storage space and simplifying data transmission.
So, how does one compress a file?
Fortunately, Windows 11 makes it simple to create a compressed folder. All you have to do is locate the file or folder you want to zip in your file explorer. All you have to do then is right-click on the applicable file and, hovering over Send to, select Compressed (zipped) folder.
That’s all you need to do. Now, your file can more easily be shared via email and other collaborative tools without bumping into file size limits.
